當(dāng)時(shí)我21歲，剛結(jié)婚，我妻子19歲。我們一起走進(jìn)了火烈鳥賭場。我記得那棟建筑和汽車旅館有些類似。我打量著賭場中形形色色的人，他們很多人衣著得體，看起來非常體面。那個(gè)年代的人，穿著打扮更正式一些，比起現(xiàn)代人。

I was 21 years old, newly married, and my wife was 19. We walked into the Flamingo Casino together. I remember the building was somewhat similar to a motel. I surveyed the various people in the casino, many of whom were well dressed and looked very decent. People in those days were a little more formally dressed compared to modern people.

那時(shí)的飛機(jī)沒現(xiàn)在這么快，但機(jī)票價(jià)格應(yīng)該比現(xiàn)在貴很多。為了賭錢，他們很多人乘坐飛機(jī)，跨越幾千里的距離，來到這里。按照概率，十賭九輸，他們自己也很清楚這個(gè)道理。

Airplanes back then weren& #39;t as fast as they are now, but airfare would have been much more expensive than now. In order to gamble, many of them took airplanes and crossed thousands of miles to come here. According to probability, nine out of ten gamblers lose, and they themselves know this very well.

我看到賭徒們頻繁地?cái)S骰子，一把一把地押寶。我掃視著這群賭徒。他們明知十賭九輸，卻還是不遠(yuǎn)千里來賭。我對我妻子說：“我會(huì)發(fā)財(cái)?shù)??！睂κ诌@么弱，想不贏都難。

I saw the gamblers rolling the dice frequently, betting on the treasure by the handful. I scanned the group of gamblers. They knew that they would lose nine times out of ten bets, but they still came from far and wide to gamble. I said to my wife, “I& #39;ll get rich.” It& #39;s hard not to win when your opponent is so weak.

我一定能找到很多好機(jī)會(huì)，因?yàn)槿藗冞€在不停地下注，在明知概率不站在自己一邊的情況下。即使到了今天，這個(gè)現(xiàn)實(shí)仍然沒有改變。

I& #39;m sure I& #39;ll find plenty of good chances as people keep betting even though they know the odds are not on their side. Even today, this reality remains unchanged.
